Deep Recirculations in the Atlantic Basins

9629489 Lozier这个项目是一个CAREER项目，PI将在她的整体职业发展中整合研究和教学。在教育方面，海洋研究所将为理科生开设一门新的物理海洋学本科课程。该课程旨在教授物理海洋学研究如何与我们的自然环境相联系，将填补当前本科教育的严重空白。此外，PI还将为高级高中生制定广泛的外展计划。在研究部分，PI将研究北大西洋主要温跃层以下环流的结构、范围和作用，主要是由她开发的一种新的高分辨率气候学所推动的。最初的重点是北大西洋，随着数据的获得，将扩展到南大西洋。在研究的后期阶段将使用正演模型来开始将数据吸收到理论框架中。

9629489 Lozier This project is a CAREER program in which the PI will integrate research and teaching in her overall career development. Under the educational component, the PI will develop a new undergraduate course in physical oceanography designed for science majors. With the aim of teaching how the study of physical oceanography relates to our natural environment, the course would fill a serious void in current undergraduate education. In addition, the PI will develop an extensive outreach program for advanced high school students. Under the research component, the PI will study the structure, extent and role of recirculations below the main thermocline in the North Atlantic, motivated by a new, high-resolution climatology developed in large part by her. With initial focus on the North Atlantic, extensions will be made into the South Atlantic as the data become available. A forward model will be used in the later stages of the study to begin to assimilate the data into a theoretical framework.
